Verdict

The clearest difference is update cadence: SoshareApp at every 3 days against JoinLinks's every 2 weeks. SoshareApp also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 92%). JoinLinks's advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 7) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
